Before his appointment, Buehrle served as Vice President of Strategy and Development at SAY San Diego, a nonprofit focused on youth advocacy. In his time there, he spearheaded equity and inclusion initiatives and procured millions of dollars in new multi-year government contracts and private philanthropy.

Additionally, Buehrle was the founding Board Chair of Zero8hundred, a local military transition support network. He was also a former chair of the San Diego Nonprofit Association.

“While he officially took office on June 16, Buehrle has been in contact with Tancredi-Baese for transitional support as he settles in.

“I remember being new—your first six months are kind of like drinking out of a fire hose, getting up to speed on an organization,” Tancredi-Baese said. “I’ve introduced him to key people in the community. He’s a very knowledgeable fellow, and understands the field of social work extremely well.”

Buehrle plans to diversify Home Start’s portfolio and expand its social enterprise programs like the Home Start Thrift Boutique, which provides a setting for young mothers in its Maternity Housing Program to develop job skills and work experience.

“Elevating a Legacy of Community Impact

Building on Tancredi-Baese’s work is one of Buehrle’s central goals. Under Tancredi-Baese’s leadership, Home Start grew to offer prevention and early intervention services, evidence-based treatment and specialized housing for families in need.

Over the past 16 years, Tancredi-Baese led seven capital projects aimed at housing hundreds of locals, launched the Maternity Housing Program and started social enterprises Home Start Thrift Boutique and Bright Futures Candles. She also doubled the size of the Board and led the organization to an endowment fund and cash reserve.

Tancredi-Baese nearly tripled Home Start’s budget to more than $13 million, more than doubled the staff to 115 individuals, brought strategic reserves from nothing to nearly $2 million and helped the organization obtain 5 multi-unit residential properties as assets.

“If you help parents learn to be better parents—which is one of the most important jobs we have that we get the least amount of training for—there are going to be better results,” Tancredi-Baese said.

According to Tancredi-Baese, current budget cuts present a major challenge to nonprofits and to the families that Home Start supports. With Buehrle’s leadership, she hopes the community will find resilience.

“I think our nonprofit sector needs support more than ever right now,” Tancredi-Baese said.

“It’s important to tell those stories so that the community understands that this is a challenging time and that they can help us in a wide variety of ways.”
